Answer

STRIP

This versatile word can function as both a noun and verb. As a noun, it refers to a long narrow piece of something, like a strip of paper or a strip of land. As a verb, it means to remove all covering or clothing, or to peel away layers. The word comes from Middle Low German and has been in English use since the 15th century.

Strategy Tip

Words with common consonant clusters like ST or TR at the beginning appear frequently in Wordle. If your first guess reveals an S or T in the early positions, consider combinations like ST, TR, or STR as potential starting patterns.
